The Australian burnout scene is an extreme sub-culture. The drivers, car builders and fans are obsessively passionate. At sanctioned burnout competitions throughout Australia, drivers spin their rear tyres at high speed creating massive amounts of smoke till the tyres are destroyed from the rims. The cars are powerful, purpose built and boast magnificent workmanship. In reality a burnout competition is loud, aggressive and dirty but as with any extreme sport… there is a moment of visual harmony when all the ingredients align in equilibrium. A moment of serenity amongst the chaos.
